[Verse 1]
DIn the Dmaj7back-seat of my Emheart
DMy lDmaj7ove tells me I'm a EmmessG  
DI couldn't Dmaj7get the car to Emstart
DI left my Dmaj7keys somewhere in the EmmessG  
DIt comes and Dmaj7goes in pEmlateaus, one month later I'm a fuGcking pro
DMy parents would be Dmaj7proudEm  
GOr fall Dasleep on the fDmaj7loor, forget what hEmappened in the morning
GThere are Dnotes in your hanDmaj7dwriting, but you canEm't make it out
[Chorus]
G5We are not a D5proud race
A5It's not a race at F#5all
We're just E5trying
I'm only D5trying to get A5home
A5Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
G5This is not a D5good thing
I A5don't mean to ratiF#5onalise
Or E5try and explain it D5away
It's not oA5kay
A5Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
[Verse 2]
DIts too Dmaj7late to articulaEmadd9te it
ThaDt empty fDmaj7eelingEmadd9  G  
We sDhare the same Dmaj7fate as the Emadd9people you hate
DYou built yoursDmaj7elf up against others feEmadd9elings
Then it left you Gfeeling eDmpty
As a Dmaj7car coasting down hEmadd9ill
I have become such a nGegative person
DIt was all just an Dmaj7act
It was all so eEmadd9asily stripped awayG  
DBut if we learn how to live like Dmaj7this
Maybe we can Emadd9learn how to start againG  
Like a Dchild who has never done Dmaj7wrong
Who hasn't Emadd9taken that first step
[Chorus]
G5We are not a D5proud race
A5It's not a race at F#5all
We're just E5trying
I'm only D5trying to get A5home
A5Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
G5Put it out of yD5our mind
A5And perish the tF#5hought
There's no E5comfort in respD5onsibility
A5Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
GIt doesn't have to Dbe like this
AIt doesn't have to Embe like this
GIt doesn't have to Dbe like this
AKiller whales, killEmer whales
GIt doesn't have to Dbe like this
AIt doesn't have to Embe like this
GIt doesn't have to Dbe like this
AKiller whales, killEmer whales
G5Is that voice in yD5our head
GivA5ing you shit agF#5ain?
But you know he lE5oves you
and he doesn't mD5ean to cause you pA5ain
G5Please listen to D5him
A5It's not too laF#5te
Turn off the eE5ngine
Get out of the D5car and start to walkA5  
A5Drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers
GIt doesn't have to Dbe like this
AIt doesn't have to Embe like this
GIt doesn't have to Dbe like this

[Verse 1]

D Dmaj7 Em

In the back-seat of my heart

D Dmaj7 Em G

My love tells me I'm a mess

D Dmaj7 Em

I couldn't get the car to start

D Dmaj7 Em G

I left my keys somewhere in the mess

D Dmaj7 Em G

It comes and goes in plateaus, one month later I'm a fucking pro

D Dmaj7 Em

My parents would be proud

G D Dmaj7 Em

Or fall asleep on the floor, forget what happened in the morning

G D Dmaj7 Em

There are notes in your handwriting, but you can't make it out

[Chorus]

G5 D5

We are not a proud race

A5 F#5

It's not a race at all

We're just trying

D5 A5

I'm only trying to get home

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

G5 D5

This is not a good thing

A5 F#5

I don't mean to rationalise

E5 D5

Or try and explain it away

It's not okay

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

[Verse 2]

D Dmaj7 Emadd9

Its too late to articulate it

D Dmaj7 Emadd9 G

That empty feeling

D Dmaj7 Emadd9

We share the same fate as the people you hate

D Dmaj7 Emadd9

You built yourself up against others feelings

G D

Then it left you feeling empty

Dmaj7 Emadd9

As a car coasting down hill

I have become such a negative person

D Dmaj7

It was all just an act

Emadd9 G

It was all so easily stripped away

D Dmaj7

But if we learn how to live like this

Emadd9 G

Maybe we can learn how to start again

D Dmaj7

Like a child who has never done wrong

Emadd9

Who hasn't taken that first step

[Chorus]

G5 D5

We are not a proud race

A5 F#5

It's not a race at all

We're just trying

D5 A5

I'm only trying to get home

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

G5 D5

Put it out of your mind

A5 F#5

And perish the thought

E5 D5

There's no comfort in responsibility

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

It doesn't have to be like this

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

Killer whales, killer whales

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

It doesn't have to be like this

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

Killer whales, killer whales

G5 D5

Is that voice in your head

A5 F#5

Giving you shit again?

But you know he loves you

D5 A5

and he doesn't mean to cause you pain

G5 D5

Please listen to him

A5 F#5

It's not too late

Turn off the engine

D5 A5

Get out of the car and start to walk

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

It doesn't have to be like this

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

Killer whales, killer whales

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

It doesn't have to be like this

G D

It doesn't have to be like this

A Em

Killer whales, killer whaaaaaaaales
